@Rich 11, You got it in one.

"Except a daily security briefing would do no good if something changed between briefings." - You mean like if something were to change like the Chinese maybe saying 'Oops our bad, here have your drone back'? Presumably a somewhat different prospect from the previous day, and yet...... Trump thinks his mind is "biglier" than everyone else's and so refuses to listen - to anyone - ever.

So yeah the whole "I'm, like, a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years," the president-elect added. "I don't need that. But I do say, 'If something should change, let us know.'" is bullshit. The only way he'll ever pay attention is if they tweet it alongside a bad review of one of his conflicts of interests businesses.

Kind of like how he found out about the drone in the first place - his tweet was DAYS after the original theft occurred and didn't happen until the story hit twitter. Yeah skipping the briefings is great policy, not.
